Features

• Daemonless Synchronization - Implements a daemonless orchestration system using file-system locks to synchronize sequential task execution.
• Distributed Task Coordination - Coordinates shared queues across multiple terminal sessions using file system locks to prevent concurrent execution.
• Sequential Job Runners - Ensures strict execution order by polling for the completion of a preceding task before starting the next.
• Job Queues - Implements a system for managing and tracking the sequential execution of background jobs.
• Multi-Session Coordination - Enables synchronization of work across multiple terminal sessions by directing tasks to shared directories.
• Output Streaming - Allows users to stream live output and logs from background jobs directly to the terminal.
• POSIX Shell Task Managers - Orchestrates background processes across multiple terminal sessions with persistent logging and job tracking.
• Task Queue Isolation - Provides isolation for different work streams by organizing tasks and logs into separate folder structures.
• Queue and Log Persistence - Captures standard output and error streams to disk for auditing and real-time monitoring.
• Background Job Monitoring - Tracks real-time output and progress of background processes without requiring an active terminal session.
• Background Job Queues - Functions as a background task runner that uses file-system locks to ensure sequential order on Unix systems.
• Job Execution Logging - Persists background command output to files and streams logs for debugging and auditing.
• File-Based Job Orchestrators - Provides a daemonless queue system using directories and lock files to manage asynchronous command execution.
• Terminal Workflow Automations - Automates complex sequences of shell commands and integrates with terminal multiplexers for visibility.
• Completion Synchronization - Pauses the current session until specified background jobs or all queued tasks finish executing.
• Queue Location Configuration - Isolates different task queues by directing logs and lock files to specific directories via environment variables.
• Environment Variable Configurations - Uses environment variables to define queue locations and operational behavior at runtime.
• Job Result Persistence - Provides persistence of background job execution results to files for later auditing.
